These two words are a type of
heteronym and homograph. They are spelled alike, but are pronounced
different and have different meanings.
The first word is an adjective that means previously used or owned,
such as a used car. It also means showing wear, as used clothes and
utilized for a reason, as an often used tool.
The second definition means accustomed to, and is pronounced yoost,
as in, I am not used to being accused.
